My Journey to Love and Trust
Finding God in the Beauty of Brokenness

Twenty-five years ago, I stood on the precipice. The cold steel of a knife pressed against my wrist, the weight of despair heavy in my heart. In that moment of utter darkness, a whisper, a voice, broke through: Pray. It was a voice I didn't recognize then, but one I now know as the voice of God. That single word shifted the trajectory of my life, sending me on a journey halfway across the world, a quest not just to love others, but to finally learn to love myself.

I invite you to join me on this transformative tour, a journey that can change your life. Let us walk through the world together, eyes wide open, recognizing the flicker of light that persists even in the deepest shadows, the beauty that blossoms in the broken places. It's there, waiting to be seen, if only we open our hearts to love.

My path has been paved with countless stories of hardship, stories that have echoed the pain I once knew. Yet, amidst the struggle, I have also encountered an endless outpouring of love from strangers, a testament to the human capacity for compassion. We need only open our eyes to discover these streams of living water that flow through the deserts of our lives. And in that discovery, perhaps we will find ourselves, and perhaps, too, we will find the limitless love of God, waiting to embrace us all and we can trust Him with everything.
